Three days later and you’re still fuming, aren’t you? Has the sadness of the situation been replaced by anger at the grave injustice of the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn?  You have every right to be absolutely fuming, because Starmer has well and truly declared war on the left of the Labour Party. Of course, Labour should be a broad church, but the pews still need to be positioned to the left. The response to the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn from the left has been patchy at best - and this is one of the reasons why we have lost too many battles.  The response has been a bit, “well we need to sit down and talk” - exactly what we did when 80% of the PLP piled in on Jeremy for 4 years.  We cannot and must not think a right-wing General Secretary, a right dominated NEC, and a PLP stretching from soft Tory to soft left, will just sit down and talk. They want Jeremy gone, and they want socialism flushed out of the party. That’s the only talking they’ll be doing.  The idea is to fight fire with

The 29th October 2019 was indeed a “day of shame” for the Labour Party, just like the British media told you. A little  over 24 hours have passed since the suspension of Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party, and the sadness that I’ve personally witnessed since this grave injustice was carried out has turned into an ever-growing army of anger.   I searched through the British mainstream media for some sort of balanced reporting this morning. I know. What a waste of time.  Once again, it was left to independent media to give you both sides of the story, notably, Canary Editor, Kerry-Anne Mendoza, who managed to get on to Radio 4, and unleash a torrent of truthbombs. Thankfully, I managed to record it.  So let’s move on to this, which has just appeared in Middle East Eye. This needs to be read, because it is a piece of journalism that simply wouldn’t be allowed into the British press, because it is both balanced, and accurate. “It is  35 years since   Neil Kinnock  establishes  his reputat

Hello again, it’s only me. You’re not about to watch Brandon Lewis on Marr, are you? I thought not. There’s something about Brandon that makes my insides feel unclean. So let’s get on with it. Tory MPs are kicking off because people are being nasty to them. That’s right, the nastiest government in living memory are complaining about being called bad names.  These people have more control over you than any government that you’ll probably be able to remember. They have special powers awarded to them, due to the global pandemic, they have a large majority and a mostly compliant, toothless, opposition.  What’s not right is sending threats and personal abuse to anyone, MP or not, and I’m sure 99.9% of you agree. That includes vandalism, and screaming at people in the street. What is right is robustly challenging elected representatives and demanding accountability, because it is you that they are supposed to be serving.  All of this has been sparked off by a comment made by Labour Party De
